If I had $16K burning a hole in my pocket last week....

...I would have been strongly tempted to buy this. I could have bolted it down to the top of my car and become the proud new owner of Portland's Greatest Ice Cream Truck/Vehicle Ever.

This mechanical band will supposedly play anything. Anything? Like that one novelty song about dead puppies? Or NWA's "I Ain't the One"? Or Prince's "Darling Nikki"?

Yes, anything.

Maybe I should have bought it. With the band at my disposal I could have easily earned back that cash in a single day selling Choco Tacos on Hawthorne.

Or I would have been arrested and the band would have been confisicated, forever doomed to play for Portland's finest at countless drunken cop BBQs. Either way, it would have made for some great photo opps.
